Children's show but with murder


The casual killing is the only thing separating this show from the A-team or other shows from the eighties.

Arguably better than a murderer's show but with children.

it's an old school Western, in space.

But it's gone from "let me collect my bounty and defend myself as needed" to "let's go wipe out a few squadrons of former Storm Troopers before breakfast", even if they're not bothering anyone.

I just watched chapter 12 “The Siege” with my kids when they clear out the old Imperial base killing everyone. One scene they enter a control room and despatch someone who is just sitting a desk with no weapon in sight. My daughter says, "they just killed Barry from accounts!"

Life is cheap in this universe for sure.

It's not a children's show, it's a family show. There is content to appeal to all ages, and it's up to the parents to decide when their individual children are ready for that content.

Casual killing is the only thing that makes it bearable if it was the hokey A-Team bullshit where someone fires thousands of rounds someone and never so much as scratches them it would be complete shit.

Lots of people died in the original trilogy. I'm not sure what point you think you made.

? Just that it's more harmful for children to get used to violence than to sexuality.
